Why did you choose St. John’s? “I chose St. John’s because it is an established lacrosse program and I was very impressed with Coach (Jason) Miller and his staff. I loved the campus and the players. St. John’s offers great academics, community service and is close to New York City. It’s a Catholic school that is a perfect distance from home.”

Outlook for your High School team? “Central Bucks West should have a fantastic season due to the large roster of upperclassmen and a really strong coaching staff. We are training well in the off-season and I feel a strong chemistry with the team. We are all about working together.”

Additional Comments: “I would like to sincerely thank my coaches at CB West: Coach Matt Coverdale, Coach Stephen Hogan, Coach Richard Lyons and Coach Albert Snyder. They always push me to be a better player and a strong leader.

“I would also like to thank Coach Paul McGovern, my coach for Bucks Select, who has elevated my level of defensive play.

“Lastly, I would like to thank my brother Timmy, who is my teammate both on and off the lacrosse field, my sister Paige and most importantly, my parents, for always supporting me.”
